Chemical Rustproofing​​DT Rustproofing has been Rustproofing at this location since 1980, we know our stuff and work at continually improving our game. All our rustproofing products meet Australian Standard AS 2662.1 and AS 2662.2 for application.

Clear is the way to go! We specialize in applying a clear rust-proofing coating mainly to new or near-new vehicles. Older vehicles we do in a combination of clear and traditional black bitumen based product. Clear looks better and enhances the “showroom” appearance of the underside, drys to a hard, non-sticky tough-as-nails surface that will outlast all other products. It drys hard, so sand doesn't stick to it, unlike some cheaper options. Think of it like clear nail varnish. It protects, strengthens and enhances!

Black Bitumen based (aka Tar or Black Jack)This is our traditional, tried and tested rustproofing product and we still use this mostly to older vehicles that can do with the benefit of controlling corrosion and cover ugly surface rust. This is perfect for ex-mining vehicles and utes that have some, or significant rust.

CavitiesCavity Wax gets sprayed as an atomized fog down the whole chassis rail (frame), cross members, sills and bottom parts of doors. Vehicles with a unibody and subframe gets sprayed in all the openings to get all the innards coated. This product, will always be sticky and tacky and flexible and is know as self healing. It is inside box sections so the sticky and tackiness is by design. This is a thixotropic product and is non-drip. If the vehicle is older, and there is some dirt, dust and flaking rust, where we can’t get it all out, we use a lanolin product that penetrates through and setts. We generally saturate these areas so there will be some dripping as this product seeps into nooks and crannies and ultimately sets. This grade of lanolin will set and leave a long lasting sticky coating.

SprayWith the use of various types of spray systems, wands, high pressure airless and plain old pressurised pot guns, access can be gained to virtually every cavity and crevasse of your vehicle utilising existing holes - We do NOT drill holes!. The 360 degree spray head ensures the entire cavity is coated with the protecting barrier spray. Door panels are sprayed to ensure coverage of the bottom seams. WE don’t remove door trims (door cards) as our specialist equipment gets in the vent / weep holes. We use a range of best in class products and techniques to provide optimum protection from corrosion under Australian conditions to Australian Standard. Australian Standard 2662.1

Electronic RustproofingWe install electronic protection on vehicles as second line of defense for beach going vehicles. It is hard to measure to what extend the electronic rust protection protects the car. In our opinion it is not sufficient protection to have electronic only for beach going vehicles. We know the chemical spray works and therefore offer a combo deal for customers who would like electronic rust protection installed on their vehicles. ​The NECCS (Nilrust Electronic Corrosion Control System) is a fully computerised device designed to prevent corrosion in vehicles. It does this by a process called capacitive coupling. Both a negative and electrostatic field are induced through the vehicle reducing the rate at which oxygen and the body steel combine. Corrosion is then reduced or stopped.

Virtually indestructible, being water and dust proof

Does not interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems and draws less than 30 milliamps

When a NECCS gives a green light, it’s a 100% guarantee the system is performing second to none

Covered by a 10 year warranty (conditions apply)

NECCS are manufactured in Australia for Nilrust by the market leader in this industry
